Dish description
This spicy Tandoori Chicken recipe from regular guest contributor Syed Ahmed will be ideal for summer.
With a hint of NAGA you can expect it to be pretty spicy, but in the end it is up to you what level of heat you go for. Chicken pieces always go well with breads, raita and chutneys.

Hi culture curry club.
Would like to try your tandoori chicken recipe but can’t see ingredients to make the Kashmiri paste and tandoori paste? Just wondering if you could point me into the right direction where the recipe for the pastes are located.
Thanking you
Laurence.
Hello Laurence, both of these are “off the shelf” pastes, Patak’s do both for example.
